Homicide

This is a very good New York based Law and Order documentary on Netflix. Very much like the hit series from so many years on television it covers the crime, the investigation, the arrest, and the conviction. The docuseries covers a number of infamous New York cases through the eyes of the Detectives, Prosecutors, and witnesses to the crime, There is a lot of archival footage and perspectives on how the crimes fit into the overall social and historical landscapes of New York City. This is not the most exciting crime documentary but it is good. You get a good sense of the personal stake the police investigators and Prosecutors take in these cases. Worth seeing.

I absolutely love this series. As an avid and routine true crime aficionado, this one checks all the boxes for me, and I have a very long check list! I'm very picky when it comes to what I watch, so for this one to make an impression says a lot.

I love the quality of work that's put into this series most of all. The detectives and their way of storytelling is really top notch and keeps you glued to each episode. My only complaint is that it's too short. It needs a good five to ten more episodes (stories). I'm really hoping they put out more seasons, and soon, because I'm very sad it's over. Or maybe they can do other cities? I sure hope so.

This is the best crime series I've ever seen. As one review said, please give us more. The cast is mostly familiar faces for those into true crime. The two stand outs for me are the always beautiful and charismatic Irma Rivera and the fabulous unbeatable Barbara Butcher. Two powerhouse women. I could listen to Barbara Butcher any day and all days of the week. She is so smart and such a thoughtful human that always delivers her unique perspective. I wish this had more than 5 episodes or they would provide more seasons. It is so well produced (probably because it's a Wolf production) and while a few of the stories were familiar, there were a few I had never heard of. If you enjoy true crime this should be at the top of your list. And ignore the reviewer who thinks he or she can do a better job, you can't fix stupid .

Detectives and family members detail the events, scars and tragedies of several murders, crimes that took place across various parts of New York.

This is a very well made, well produced and well presented series. Some well known crimes, one or two perhaps not as famous, I was definitely aware of both thr Deli and Pilmar cases, each episode though, has something to offer.

Don't expect any wild theories, outlandish theories, or heaven forbid, some of the obscure goings on of something like Files of the unexplained, this is very grounded, nothing is sensationalised or over dramatised.

A fascinating insight into how much The Police invest in their cases, also interesting to see the crossovers.

I hope another series follows.

8/10.

It was an interesting tv shows but it shows the mismanagement from the Police. Some cases stayed unsolved for years because they missed some very obvious witnesses and leads. I was pretty shocked!! Most of the time I thought " how could you miss that ?" And how can you take 5 days before checking a CCTV or look at extremely obvious locations. I don't find that show flattering at all for the US detectives tbh! They need more training obviously. Most of the episodes are a proof that something went incredibly wrong in their judgment and reasoning. And it also shows how the US legal system is dysfunctional. Amazing !
